PK I WEE ONES X 6wks $185 small breed pups

This class is for puppies that will be under 20 pounds at maturity. Age of pups 10 to 20 weeks of age at start of class. We understand there is a need for classes for owners and their tiny new furry family member. You want the same information and experience of a puppy class but you and your pup may feel overwhelmed with the other larger breed pups.

Week one NO PUPPIES. Minimum vaccination requirements as of week 2 of class is:1st Dhpp (distemper/parvo) copy week 1.a Bordatella (kennel cough) is recommended but not required.A rabies vaccine is given at 12 weeks of age or older so pleasebring a copy after your pup has received this vaccine.A fecal test with results dated from your veterinarian. If positive for parasites please provide treatment medication and dates started.

This is a class for owners to get lessons in "DOGOLOGY" (my own term) and for puppies to continue their socialization. Off leash play time is done in each class. During play time, discussions are about the dogs signals, body and sound, and how some of the canine signals are "calming signals". These signals are used to maintain a healthy social hierarchy.

The first class is for owners only where we will outline the the class and to explain how to use a clicker(if you want) and our 7 Tools for Success (leashes, training collars, rewards, tethers, clickers, kongs and housetraining bells). If you do not wish to use the clicker in your training that is fine.Training manuals and clickers are given to every owner as part of your class fee.

The next 5 weeks we will explain/demonstrate/instruct attention/name game exercises, bite inhibition and settle exercises as well as teach basic obedience commands such as sit, down, stay, stand, and loose-leash walking. An explanation of "manage and/or train" methods of dealing with your puppy's first 18 months will help to solve such behaviors as jumping, chewing, barking, housesoiling, etc.
